[plasmashell] [Bug 340063] Please make KDE fade to black before turning screen off
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #24 from S --- @Alexander thanks for the clear explanation. In that case, could I please request that the #1 stage of fade to black be increased to about 5 seconds, or even make it user configurable in traditional KDE fashion? Thanks a lot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #22 from Kai Uwe Broulik --- I'll have a look but that needs adjustments in KWin (needed anyway as the effect isn't supported on Wayland yet) (a bit of Trivia: The effect that fades the screen was actually intended for KScreen to "turn off" the screen when it changes screen resolution and the like and then fade it back in once everything has settled. It was never used for this purpose. I then rediscovered the effect which has been in there since 4.10 or so and use it for communicating power management status. It's still named "KScreen Helper Effect" in Desktop Effects settings) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #21 from S --- (In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #20) > The entire discussion in this bug report looks like there is a > misunderstanding between "black" and "off". That seems to be the issue. :-) I should also clarify that I am referring to a fade of the screen color to black, not a change to the backlight brightness. I personally think it should just gradually fade to black (and be interruptible by user input) during about 5 seconds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #20 from Christoph Feck --- Kai, would it be possible to fade to say 25% instead of 0%, and fade the remaining 25% a second before it is turned off? This way, the user still sees that the display is not off yet, but still is urged to move the mouse or press a key. The entire discussion in this bug report looks like there is a misunderstanding between "black" and "off". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #19 from S --- Hmm I see. So I guess what I was requesting with this bug report is what mate-screensaver does, ~5 second fade to black which gives the user a chance to interrupt it before the screen goes completely black. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #18 from Kai Uwe Broulik --- The fade animation is pretty quick, it's not a long fade. The "black screen with cursor still on" is indicates you actually have it working. (I was thinking about fading the entire duration slowly but that requires some more effort, that effect wasn't actually meant to be used for this purpose. The important bit is that it gives you time to react before actually engaging energy saving from which it might take a considerable amount of time to wake up) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

So I can confirm that I am definitely not seeing any fading. About 5 seconds before the energy saver turns off the screen, my screen goes straight to a black screen with the backlight and mouse pointer still on. Then the screen turns off. Could you please help me diagnose why this isn't working? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #15 from S --- Hi, I have to take back my last comment, I'm not seeing any fading. The screen goes from full-on straight to black with no fading transition (I assume this is the lockscreen activating) and then the energy module kicks in and turns off the screen. Where is the fade supposed to occur? Before the lockscreen or before the energy module turns off the screen? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #13 from S --- OK, it looks like I'm seeing the fade, but it definitely seems too fast. The idea in my opinion is not just to make it aesthetic, but to give the user an alert that it's about to turn off so it can be interrupted. I'd like to see an interval of about 5 seconds. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340063 --- Comment #12 from Kai Uwe Broulik --- Compositing needs to be enabled and the "KScreen helper effect" in Desktop Effects enabled (only shown when you uncheck the "Exclude internal desktop effects" in the menu next to the search field). However, the effect should be enabled by default. The fade itself is pretty quick (might need to re-think that a bit and slowly fade) but the screen won't turn off right after the fade effect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel

On 5.6 in openSUSE I'm seeing a very quick fade, probably under 500ms, which looks slick but doesn't accomplish the purpose of this bug report, namely, to give the user time to cancel the screen turning off. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
